is betting on the total, also known as the Over/Under. This is a bet on whether the total combined points of both teams will be over or under a specific number set by oddsmakers.Article content
The example above shows point totals for Toronto’s Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet for an individual game. If you think Siakam is on a hot streak, you can take the Over and bet he will score 25 or more points. If you think VanVleet could be limited because of a nagging injury, you might take the Under and bet he will score 20 points or less.Article content
The great thing about these bets is they are often offered before the season even begins, which makes betting on your favourite team and how they will fare more exciting. The basic rule for futures betting is, the earlier you make the wager, the better the payout. Before the season started, Milwaukee was listed at +650 to win the NBA championship. A $100 bet on the Bucks before the season would earn you $650 profit if they win it all.The first strategy for betting on any sport is to do your research. Look at the teams you are most familiar with and look for the value in their odds.
